Seeds of Kindness

The theme for this month's Pack meeting was 'Seeds of Kindness'. We did a food drive and all of the boys brought non-perishables to the meeting. My den was on for the skit - and we just did a couple of silly run-ons.

This one where the boys all roll around on the floor and someone comes in and asks 'what on earth are you doing?' and they all sit up and shout - 'haven't you ever seen a good turn before!'

The Man-Cub proudly receives his Activity Pins from Webelos Camp - Outdoorsman, Forester, and Naturalist - we waited until all of the boys completed the pins so they could all receive them together...

Then each scout made a bird feeder and got a baggy of seeds - so they could all be kind to the birds...
I had done this before with the Man-Cub and it was such a simple and fun craft that we decided to do it with the Pack - Instructions here...

Here's the finished feeder on our snow covered picnic table...

    You reminded me I was going to do peanut butter birdseed covered pinecones with the kids. Although I couldnt find many. Guess Toast will have to do.

  4. What are you going to do when you are no longer a scoutmaster? Oh, I know. Knit and read. E

  5. That feeder looks fantastic. Too bad we have too many squirrels around here. The birds don't stand a chance unless the squirrels can't get to it!
